Can I Refill a Lysol No Touch Soap Dispenser?
Yes. I refill mine. The thought of paying $4-$5 for a refill just makes me cringe, but I just love the dispenser itself! I will say that is quite difficult to remove the lid to the original soap container that comes with it, but well worth the trouble. When...

Try pouring full strength vinegar onto stain. The longer the stain the longer you leave vinegar on. This works for rust stains left behind by patio furniture on a concrete patio, so I wouldnt see why it wouldnt work in your case as well.

Ever thought of a Chili or Spaghetti Dinner! Both are so cheap to make and tickets can sell for a nominal fee. People of the center can serve the food and do clean up. I have done these in the past and they always go well for raising funds. Good luck!

I agree how expensive liquid hand soap can be. we use quite a bit in our home. I have 3 boys and a husband so Im sure you can imagine. Using water is a good tip. If I may suggest another tip to stretch the liquid soap as well? Use vinegar! Vinegar is great...
